Product Information

Full details

The Loops 22mm Non-Sparking Combination Spanner is designed for professionals and DIYers working in potentially hazardous environments where sparks could ignite flammable materials. Its key benefit is enhanced safety due to its non-sparking Beryllium Copper construction. A minor caveat is its specific 22mm size, limiting its immediate application without other wrenches. This spanner offers a versatile combination of an open-end and a 12-point WallDrive ring, built with durable die-forged construction and backed by a lifetime guarantee.

FAQs

What makes this spanner 'non-sparking'?

The spanner is made from Beryllium Copper alloy. This material is specifically chosen because it is less likely to create a spark when struck or scraped against other hard surfaces compared to steel tools, making it safer for use in hazardous environments.

What is the advantage of the 12-point WallDrive ring?

The 12-point WallDrive ring provides a more secure grip on the fastener and allows for engagement from multiple angles (12 points instead of the typical 6), making it easier to use in tight spaces and reducing the risk of rounding off the fastener head.

What kind of environments is this spanner recommended for?

It is highly recommended for use in environments where flammable gases, vapors, dust, or other combustible materials are present, such as oil rigs, chemical plants, grain elevators, and certain automotive or aviation repair shops.

What does 'die-forged' mean for the durability of the spanner?

Die-forging is a manufacturing process where metal is shaped by forcing it into a die under extreme pressure. This process refines the grain structure of the metal, resulting in a stronger, more durable, and more precise tool compared to casting or machining.

How should I clean and maintain this tool?

Clean the spanner with a soft cloth and mild degreaser after use, then wipe it dry. Store it in its protective pouch or a dry tool area to prevent damage and corrosion. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the length and weight of the spanner?

The spanner has a length of 245mm and a net weight of 0.28kg.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

The lifetime guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and material flaws under normal use. It ensures that the tool is free from faults for the lifetime of the product. Specific terms may vary, so consulting the manufacturer's warranty policy is advised.

Troubleshooting

Spanner seems loose on a 22mm fastener

Ensure you are using the correct size (22mm) and that the fastener is also a standard 22mm. Check for any debris in the spanner or on the fastener head.

Difficulty applying sufficient torque

Utilize the 12-point WallDrive ring end for better grip and leverage. Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener head. For extremely stubborn fasteners, consider using a longer-handled spanner if space permits and safety is maintained.

Corrosion or discoloration on the spanner

Wipe the spanner clean with a soft cloth and mild degreaser. Ensure the tool is stored in a dry environment away from moisture and corrosive substances. Minor discoloration may not affect performance but should be cleaned.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety in hazardous environments due to non-sparking material.
  • Durable construction ensures a long tool life.
  • Versatile combination head design for multiple applications.
  • Reliable performance with a secure fit for 22mm fasteners.
  • Includes convenient storage for organization and portability.

Cons

  • Specific 22mm size limits immediate use to only that fastener size.
  • Beryllium Copper, while safe, may be softer than other tool steels for extreme force applications.
  • May require specialized knowledge for optimal use in highly sensitive environments.
  • Open-end may be less efficient than a ring for stubborn fasteners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This spanner requires no specific setup. It is ready for immediate use upon removal from its storage pouch.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily compatible with standard 22mm nuts and bolts.
  • Suitable for use in environments classified as potentially explosive or hazardous due to its non-sparking properties.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, clean the spanner with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grease. For tougher grime, use a mild degreaser and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the spanner in its provided pouch or a clean, dry tool chest to prevent damage and corrosion. Ensure it is kept away from corrosive chemicals.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the tool for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. If the tool is damaged, discontinue use to ensure safety and performance.
